 How It Works

Thank Dog!® Bootcamp is a one stop fitness program that combines a strenuous workout with basic obedience for both dogs and their people.

The class will be run by one personal trainer and two physically fit dog trainers. Everyone is considered a team; therefore, the class will never be divided into levels.  Whether it’s the actual work out or basic obedience, the Thank Dog!® team of 3 will always be available to personally help and guide each pair as they need it.

Both dogs and owners alike will have a mandatory consultation before entering the program.  Dogs will be evaluated for temperament to prevent aggression within the class, while owners will be interviewed, weighed and measured to ensure a healthy start while also assessing future goals. Equipment lists will be given at this time as individuals must provide their own weights, dog training materials and water. Treats are optional. Thank Dog!® will provide everything else needed for different work outs.

To begin, those who have purchased a package must attend ONE free basic obedience class, which is held every Sunday a WEEK before their program starts. This is to ensure that dogs are familiar with their basic commands so the work out will go smoothly (sometimes owners will have to “pay a price” for their dogs’ mistakes to give incentive to maintain training outside of bootcamp).  Thank Dog!® Bootcampers will also be entitled to a free, non-mandatory, 30 minute basic obedience troubleshooting course before every class.

Each class will be 1 hour long and will be comprised of cardiovascular training, obedience training and strength training. Dogs will be on-leash throughout the entire class, either with the owner doing cardio and obedience, or with the dog trainers as they will be taught “go to your place” while owners are strength training.
